Setting up additional features

Using Beats Audio™ (select models only)

Your HP TouchSmart PC features audio connectors (headphone and Audio Out)

that are optimized for Beats Audio™ headphones and external audio systems

(purchased separately). Select HP TouchSmart PC models also include four

Beats-optimized internal speakers and a Beats toggle button

Your computer comes ready for you to experience music with Beats enabled. To

disable Beats, press the Beats toggle button; the Beats off icon appears on the

screen. To turn Beats on, press the Beats toggle button again. If your keyboard

does not contain the Beats toggle button, press Fn+B to enable and disable

Beats. To view the Beats user interface, from the Start screen, type b, and then

select HP Beats Audio.

All you need to do is plug the Beats Audio headphones into the side headphone

connector to experience crisp and clear sound separation. To experience the full

capability of BEATS audio using the internal speakers, HP recommends

connecting a matching HP subwoofer to the Sub connector on the back panel. If

you are using an external audio system, plug it into the Audio Out connector on

the back panel.

Using an HDMI monitor

If your computer has a graphics card with an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia

Interface) connector, Hewlett-Packard recommends using a DVI or VGA

connector for a monitor, and using HDMI to connect a TV.

If you use HDMI to connect your monitor, you may need to adjust some settings

to hear sound (see the following steps). Because of this, HP recommends that

you connect analog speakers to the computer if you want to hear sound during

the initial setup of the computer.

For optimum viewing, you may need to adjust the resolution setting for the

monitor (see Adjusting resolution on page 6).

Save this document for future use.

NOTE: If you ever need to recover the computer operating system by using the

Recovery Manager, you must repeat these procedures to activate sound and

adjust resolution for the HDMI connector.

IMPORTANT: Your HDMI monitor must be connected to the graphics card

before you activate sound and adjust resolution.
